Does the X5M brakes fit to X5 4.8i?

Do you have 214s, and will you be going to larger rotors as well?

Where did you get them? I've been looking at flea bay for a while now with no luck

Yes. I'll be putting the larger rotors on fr & rr. I'm only painting the fronts as spending another $200 for the rears to get painted didn't make sense. I got the older ones, not the new blue M 6 piston. Mine are only black 4 piston. I won't be painting them until next month. I'm looking at doing the blue with "BMW Performance" on them instead of the M. Don't want to be too much of a poser!

But i'm struggling with either doing the Lemans Blue or potentially phoenix yellow. I have a space gray e70....

Would love to see the gray with Yellow. Nice Combo.

Anybody have any info as to cost?? Rotors/Calipers? I have searched Ebay as well with no luck??

Has anyone put X5M brakes on a regular X5 yet?

It could be done, but you will have to get someone to code the X5 telling it that it now has different brakes? otherwise you ABS etc will throw errors.

I'm considering getting PB 8-pot 405mm front brakes on my 2013 40d. But I like the X5 M50d brakes as well The only reason I didn't get the M50d is because I would had to of waited till march And It's not easy using my e31 as a daily.

Your in box is full! Did you ever get this done? Just wondering if you got it done issue free and if you have 214 wheels did they clear the calipers? Thanks

Did anyone get this accomplished?
I have a set of front M to install next week...
Only question I have at this point is the difference between the X5 and M hubs. Checked the other parts and they are the same....

Thanks

From all I figured out the fronts should fit, the rears the disc won't fit because the Hub size difference, I was going to look at having them machined but the deal never worked out. Where did you get them from? And how much was the set? Let us know how it all goes.
